Famine Years: An Exiled Criminal's Wife Grows a Paradise Beyond the Frontier

[Farming on the Frontier] [Adorable Height Difference] [Sweet Romance] [Wife-Chasing Road to Ruin] [Contrasting Couple]

Shen Zhaozhao died on the road to exile in her previous life. After being reborn, all she wants is to live a good life.

But her scumbag father and stepmother won't leave her alone. They plan to hand her over to the escorting guards.

Shen Zhaozhao decides to escape from the exile convoy.

The first step is to find a powerful protector. At a glance, she picks out the leader among the men, Pei Jin.

Pei Jin is tall and strong, with an imposing presence. He looks like the very picture of safety.

But when Pei Jin sees Shen Zhaozhao rushing toward him, he draws his saber...

No problem. Shen Zhaozhao has a wood-type special ability, and she refuses to believe she can't win this man over.

The convoy has been short of water for days? Shen Zhaozhao asks the plants one by one and easily finds a spring.

The food stores are running low? Shen Zhaozhao waves her little hand, and wild vegetables and mushrooms spring up all over the ground.

The frontier is barren and its people lack food? Shen Zhaozhao leads the way in reclaiming land, farming, and diverting water for irrigation.

In the end, a desolate wasteland where even birds wouldn't land becomes a paradise beyond the frontier, envied by all.

Shen Zhaozhao, once an insignificant convict, becomes wealthy beyond measure and is praised by everyone.

But when did the man who first drew his blade on her become so possessive?

--

Pei Jin frowns as he watches Shen Zhaozhao grow ever more dazzling, with countless men gathered around her.

Once again, he raises his saber and charges in.

His woman can only ever belong to him!
